Letter of the Week: Utah DABC offers less and charges more

Those of you who shop at Utah state wine and liquor stores have been put on notice that yet another consumer-friendly service is being terminated: Those helpful little product review tags posted on wine racks and shelves are to be removed.

Like any monopoly, the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control is continuing to offer as little as possible while charging the highest prices.

For years it was my job to check these reviews for accuracy and compliance before they were posted in the stores. I know firsthand that customers appreciated this service.

Since my resignation three years ago, no one has bother to continue this function.
